Here's a pic of a nice little ditty with my garden Iris. Since the landscaping was terribly ignored my iris has gone wild back there! Building up to attacking that herd! I had to make a dark background so you can see it...all the walls in my house are light and the only dark thing I had was my black scarf!! Here's a tip: A baking pan and a black scarf make for a quick backdrop! ;)

Also I added some shots of the Eufloria flowers Shane sent me. I want to say it's been a week, they never had flower food at all since arriving (I don't have some at home) and I've only cut them/changed water once. The yellow spray roses have since passed on about 2 days ago. Not a petal has dropped yet from either of the flowers...not even the spray ones. The spray ones seemed to just dry up. They could be used in a dried arrangement...that's how pretty they look even though they're dead.

Ok update. The Eufloria roses are now resting in the trash bin. A petal never fell off, even when they weren't looking so hot anymore they still looked decent. If that makes sense. I think lasting over a week without flower food and only one water change is pretty good.

Off to make another little iris arrangement....I've got just WAAAAY too much growing out there! :)
